It had been more than a few months! And Lust didn't look like he was healing at all!! But Sci had reassured Fresh and the others multiple times he was healing!

Sci almost pulled out the schematics just to prove that Lust was healing! Lust was healing exceedingly well, for a monster who just got shot in the skull and was practically dusting in the tank!

They were just impatient.

Sci couldn't get that encounter from Unfresh out of his head... why would Unfresh want him to kill Lust?

Sci figured it was a question he wasn't going to ask Fresh, he didn't want to add more stresses to the poor guy.

Sci looked at Lust, there was still bits of dust and marrow floating in the tank. Sci wanted to clean the tank, but he wasn't sure Lust would be able to handle it.

"Sci, broskei how much longer?" Fresh asked for the thousandth time!

"Fresh I told you he it's going to take more than a few months for a bullet wound to heal, he is also malnourished,  and he has broken bones!" Sci said this. He was pretty annoyed with the questions, he understood that Fresh was a bit stir-crazy, but he needed to stop asking!

Fresh hadn't left the lab, even when Error begged him to, and Error rarely asks for anything from his brothers.

Fresh didn't know how much more waiting he could take.

Fresh was starting to hate sleeping, because all he got were nightmares. He refused to leave though.

The farthest he would go was the next room and that was either the bathroom or the kitchen. He wasn't in there for long either.

Fresh rushed the hell out of everything.

~Two Weeks Later~

Alarms were blaring, Fresh woke, he looked around drowsily, finding someone in the room with him.

"What are you doin'?" Fresh felt like crap, as he stood looking at the monster beside the tank. Fresh's leg wobbled and he fell, he didn't know why he felt so weak.

"Oh you're awake..." the monster's voice echoed. Fresh saw a blur of color, he reach forward expecting to touch some glass, but felt nothing there. Fresh began to panic.

"Where is he?" Fresh mumbled, his head getting foggier by the second.

"What did you do?" Fresh felt inside the tube. He touched a slimy gritty liquid, and assumed it was the tank solution.

Fresh felt himself be picked up. He tiredly strained to be released.

"Calm down." The monster instructed, but Fresh wasn't having that.

He wailed out to call for Sci.

"Calm down!" The monster hissed. Fresh only got louder.

"Fresh! I'm right here now calm the FUNK down!" Sci growled.

"What'd you do to Lust?"

"Moved him in a new tank so I could clean this one out. You touched the 'disgusting suspension muck' as Geno calls it, so let me clean your hands or you may not be able to fell your hands later." Sci didn't want to get Fresh into a shower, no matter how bad he smelled because that meant he had to help... and he didn't like the idea of striping Fresh down and shoving him into the shower. 

Fresh didn't fight against Sci, he was too tired to do that anyway.

"Why am I so tired?" Fresh mumbled.

"One! You just woke up, two! You only slept for forty-five minutes, and three! You barely ate last night, so I have a solution to one of your problems. An air mattress! I found one and set it up for you." Sci was proud of himself.

"Thanks..." Fresh tiredly mumbled, he knew it would be selfish to ask to sleep near Lust, but he wanted to ask...

"It's not far from here, and I made sure to get the suspension tank in that room working so you could be near Lust!" Sci chirped, Fresh looked at Sci who was really struggling to support Fresh's weight.

"Thanks, broskei!" Fresh weakly hugged the little nerd and tried to carry some of his own weight.

"It was no problem at all, I and everyone else wants you to take care of yourself so if this gets you doing that then I am glad to do it." Sci sounded a little innocent when said this. Sometimes Fresh forgets that Sci is only seventeen...

Fresh put more of his weight on the ground as they got farther from the alarms and closer to the quieter part of the lab.

Sci found out a week ago that the suspension tank Lust in had been tampered... Lust was healing, just not as fast as he wanted, so moving Lust was a necessary change, and getting Fresh in a comfortable spot was a plus for this whole situation... it just annoyed Sci that he didn't notice his machine was defaulty sooner.

This tank was new so Sci expected no problems, he even triple checked the machine to make sure he wasn't overlooking anything. He had planned on telling someone, but he expected if word got to Geno, Geno would take Lust out of his care and probably killing Lust in the transition of labs, so keeping it a secret was ideal for now...

But if anyone ask he wanted to clean the old tank, it wasn't a lied he did want to clean it.

The room that Fresh and Lust would be in wasn't too big, but it wasn't too large either. Just enough room for Sci to keep an eye socket on both Fresh and Lust and get some work done at the same time, if it was needed.

Lust glowed purple in his tank, the solution inside gurgled and bubbled showing how hard it was working. Sci just hoped Fresh wouldn't notice, and if he did, it was a new tank so he could use that as an excuse.

Sci helped Fresh on the air mattress, it was a fairly new mattress and the sheets were cleaned so he knew Fresh would be somewhat comfortable in the room. A bathroom was across the hall and Geno packed Fresh a food bag, Geno refused to take the food back home with him.
